I am trying to insert a datetime value into a SQLite database. It seems to be sucsessful but when I try to retrieve the value there is an error:

<Unable to read data>

The SQL statements are:

create table myTable (name varchar(25), myDate DATETIME)
insert into myTable (name,mydate) Values ('fred','jan 1 2009 13:22:15')

The format you need is:

'2007-01-01 10:00:00'

i.e. yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss

If possible, however, use a parameterised query as this frees you from worrying about the formatting details.
